Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 0.25 cups water
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon cold water
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the blueberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and 1/4 cup of water.
Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries begin to release their juices. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and 1 tablespoon of cold water until fully dissolved.
Slowly pour the cornstarch mixture into the saucepan while stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
Continue to cook the sauce on medium heat, stirring frequently, until it thickens to your desired consistency. This should take another 4-6 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the sauce to cool slightly. The sauce will thicken further as it cools.
Serve warm or chilled over blueberry scones, pancakes, yogurt, or cheesecake. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
